Decrease in rate rainfall has been reported since last two days which leads to continued recede in water level.
The flood situation in Bakura, Bhargawa, Dwalakh,Mahpatia, Persauni, Gajgaon,Bassipatti, Karhara
panchayats of Madhepur block has shifting towards normal.
Development Commissioner visited the flood area and observed the field situation, ordered the concerned
officials for providing relief and response to 11 displaced families in Janki Nagar panchayat. 745 people
have been evacuated and 93 polythene sheets have been distributed by the local government.
kindly note that in the Joint Flood Assessment Report, under Key Observations, where it is given in the Child Protection and Education Section, that "all children go to English medium schools", it would be "some children go to English medium schools".
Due to intermittent heavy downpour from 16 June to 20 June 2011
causing flood situation has affected 22 blocks, 3 municipalities and all the GPs of the
districts.
4.06 lac people are said to be affected with 4,564 fully damaged houses and 22,217 partly
damaged houses. 6 deaths have also been reported in the district. (Due to religio-cultural reasons one death was not reported in Hirbandh block. Tentative damage to crops is placed
at Rs. 7.6 million.
Although mining induced displacement is rampant in Odisha now, at the same time Conservation induced displacement has been taking its toll in the Protected areas. The issue is not much highlighted as that of the industrial displacement. The presentation has tried to highlight case study of post displacement situation (R & R colony).
Flood has been considered as one of the very most recurring and frequent disaster in the world. Due to recurrent prevalence, the economic loss and life damage caused by the flood has put more burdens on economy than any other natural disaster. India has continuously suffered by many flood events which claimed collosal loss of life and economy. It has been found that the incidences of the flood are increasing very sporadically. Causes can be climate change, cloud bursting, tsunami or poor river management, silting etc. but devastation is increasing both in terms of lives and economies.
Flood is most profound and costliest natural disaster in the world which devastates both life and economy at a large extent. It is defined as, “High-water stages in which water over flows its natural or artificial banks onto normally dry land, such as a river inundating its floodplain.” This local and short term event comes with little or no alarming

Sequential Damming Induced Winter Season Flash Flood in Uttarakhand Province ...Bilingual Publishing Group
204 persons were killed while two hydropower projects located in close proximity at Rishiganga (13.2 MW), and Tapoban (520 MW) were damaged in Dhauliganga flood of February 7, 2021 in the Indian Himalaya. This incidence occurred during the winter season when the discharge of the glacier fed rivers is minimal, and no rain was experienced in the region around the time of the flood. Despite discharge of the main river, Rishiganga, not involved in the flood due to damming upstream of its confluence with Raunthi Gadhera, based on field evidences massive volume of around 6 million cu m water involved in this flood is attributed to sequential intermittent damming at three different places; (i) Raunthi Gadhera was dammed first in its upper reaches, (ii) Rishiganga river was then dammed to the north of Murunna, and (iii) finally Dhauliganga river was dammed around Rini village to the upstream of its confluence with Rishiganga river. Lacking warning system only enhanced the flood-induced devastation. Legally binding disaster risk assessment regime, together with robust warning generation, and dissemination infrastructure are therefore recommended for all major infrastructure projects.

Covering over 9 million square kilometres of the Earth’s surface, mountain forests represent a remarkable
23 percent of the Earth’s forest cover. They play a key role in mountain areas, providing goods and
services essential to the livelihood of both highland and lowland communities. Freshwater streaming
down from mountains is accessible to more than half of the world’s population and available for the most
varied needs, such as drinking, cooking and washing, farming, hydropower, industry and transportation.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Background:
Heavy rainfall in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam led to floods has had an adverse impact in 533
villages across of 6 districts as on 21st July, 2011. As per media reports, 334463 people as on
21st July,2011 in the first wave of floods. Flood waters also submerged a large portion of Kaziranga
sanctuary in the district of Golaghat. Parts of the Jorhat district were also reported flood. Assam Chief
Minister Tarun Gogoi made an aerial survey of the flood affected areas in the districts of Lakhimpur,
Dhemaji and Jorhat on 20th July,2011. Assam State Inter agency group had an emergency meeting on
20th July, 2011 and decided to have a joint assessment of the flood affected districts of Lakhimpur and
Dhemaji. The joint assessment carried out by the members of the state inter agency group on 22nd and
23rd of July, 2011 at Lakhimpur and Dhemaji.
Continuous rain in Arunachal Pradesh led to flash flood in Dhemaji and Lakhimpur districts of
Assam. Flood started on 10th July and forced people to come out their houses and take shelter
on the roads and embankments on 15th and 16th July 2011 in twin districts. The nature of flood
was flash flood caused by rivers like Ranganadi, Gavoru, Jiabhorali, Dikrong and other tributeris
in Lakhimpur and Lali (Siang), Jia Dhal, Na-Nadi and Cemen river in Dhemaji district.Rushing
down of flood water from these rivers broke the embankments, bridges and washed away
agricultural lands and houses, village roads. During the period, one reported to be dead. Flood
water affected human life, livestock, household items, houses, agriculture transportation and
infrastructure

Field Visit Observations:
General:
During the assessment it is found that -
• Flooding has been primarily caused by
continuous heavy rainfall for four days in
Arunachal & upper Assam reaches
resulting excess water level in
Bramhaputra & its tributaries and
breaching of embankments.
• As rain stops the water level of the
Bramhaputra & its tributaries started
decreasing and the flood water also started
residing from the villages.
• Affected people have taken shelters on
nearby embankments and schools. Most of
the camps are spontaneous and set up by
the community itself. There is a village Embankment an approachable roads cutoff
called Bera Ghat under silla panchyat in in Jonai, Dhemaji District
Jonai block were completely eroded and 45
families were permanently displaced.
• Government response has been observed in the form of tarpaulin sheets (12X 15) and
food items (Rice, Dal & Salt).
• Flood water starts receding and people have started returning to their houses in some of
the villages.
• The process of cleaning inundated
houses has initiated by the community.
• It will be only a matter of few days, most
of the people will be able to go back to
their homes expected those completely
eroded or washed away which could be
maximum 2-3%.
• Due to Na-Nadi river diversion in Dhemaji
block, Kechukhona Kosari village is cut
3
River water is at doorstep in Silla
4. off from rest of the district. 45 families stranded and taking shelter in chang (raised
